On one hand, there's nothing more eye rolling than seeing a player (in any sport) take a very light hit and then see them collapse and roll around on the ground like their leg's been cut off like the Black Knight from Monty Python. It detracts from the game and makes the player look like a big dummy for sure. On the other hand, Miguel Hefeweizen is a competitor at heart and the rules can be very flexible when it comes to making sure that the team gets put into a good position to secure the win. I think it would really depend on how well Miguel thinks he could sell the hit without looking like a big baby, and also if getting a game stoppage would interrupt his team's momentum. If his team wasn't really jiving at the time I think Miguel tries for the penalty to be honest. All's fair in love and hockey, as they say.
